In what can only be described as a heroic act，a golden retriever managed to save his owner's life by lying on top of him for almost 24 hours to keep him from freezing to death after slipping on ice and breaking his neck.

On New Year's Eve,64-year-old Bob，who chose not to reveal his last name for privacy reasons，of Petoskey，Michigan，was watching a football game between Clemson and Ohio State.It was around 10 : 30 p．m.when he decided to go outside and fetch some more wood for his fireplace wearing only long underpants，slippers and a shirt.He had taken the short,15-foot walk to the firewood shed thousands of times before，but this time his poor choice of footwear made him slip，and the fall left him unable to move.

“I was screaming for help，but my nearest neighbor is about a quarter mile away and it was 10: 30 p．m.，but my Kelsey came，”Bob recalls.“By morning my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help，but Kelsey didn't stop barking.She kept barking for help，but never left my side.She kept me warm and alert.I knew I had to hold on through this and that was my choice to stay alive.”

It is such a common occurrence that no one ever wonders from where it came.But the telephone has a fascinating story behind it.It is the story of Alexander Graham Bell.

In 1870，because of poor health，he migrated to Canada.It was not long before his success in teaching the deaf to speak brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who wanted Bell to help her daughter，Mabel.Finally，Mr.Bell and Mabel fell in love. It was she who inspired him to develop the remarkable instrument that transformed speech into electrical impulses (脉冲) that could then be changed back into human speech at the end of a wire.In 1877，he and Mabel were married.He later became an American citizen.

Alexander Graham Bell was showered with the praise of the world.Honors came to him from all the points of the compass.He went on to other discoveries，many of them.But in his own view，he was most proud of his efforts to help the deaf.So，when the government of France awarded him the V olta Prize for inventing the telephone，he combined this monetary award with the money he made from selling the patent on another invention to establish the Volta Bureau in Washington，D.C.Its purpose was to fund research on deafness.Today，it is called the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.Its role has been changed to providing the latest information for the deaf of the world on how best to deal with their disability.
